Finally

Hello, there. Three months went by in a heartbeat.

Today- after dozens of days of humdrum, a change occurred.

[You have entered the Fetal Stage of development.]

Yes, I am now a foetus.

What an awesome achievement on my part. I am so very proud of myself. Congratulations, me.

Well, various other changes also took place.

[Your body is now partially complete.]

[Stats points are being redistributed in the ratio 7.5:7.5:20:40:25 for STR, AGI, VIT, INT and MND stats respectively to advance the growth of the physical body.]

[Stat points will continue to be redistributed at fixed intervals.]

With that, an almost unbearable pain assaulted my head- which I now possessed.

[297 stat points have been assigned to the Strength stat!]

[297 stat points have been assigned to the Agility stat!]

[792 stat points have been assigned to the Vitality stat!]

[1584 stat points have been assigned to the Intelligence stat!]

[990 stat points have been assigned to the Mind stat!]

The pain sure was intolerable. It felt as if my head was being hit by a thousand hammers.

But not only my head, but my body also felt like it was being twisted in all directions simultaneously.

The pain persisted for a mere moment but to me, it appeared as an entire year had elapsed. Only after it had thoroughly subsided that I was able to bring myself back to my senses.

In my previous life, not even a single time had I experienced such excruciating pain.

What the hell even was that?

Ah, that's right. I seemed to have forgotten that this was a real-world and not a game.

A change in my stats will definitely alter my physical body as well.

Over these last three months, I levelled up 35 times excluding my first level up. Much of it happened through natural experience gain as by far I'm yet unable to increase my level through other means.

Most of my stat points were allocated to my Mind and Intelligence stats since I didn't have a body back then to have the stats assigned to the Strength, Vitality or Agility stats.

But now that I had a body to work with, stat points were redistributed to all the corresponding stats. Redistributing meant that the stat points were forcefully whittled out of my Intelligence and Mind stats and were further allocated to the other three stats. No wonder the pain.

I just hope I do not have to go through such pain again.

I really don't like pain at all.

Well, in the meantime I should check my 'Status'.

[Status Screen]

Name: Unassigned

Age: 0 years old

Gender: Male

Race: Ancient Demi-Titan

Class: Sovereign of Magic

Level: 36

Title: Blessed by the World, Genius who will never come again, Otherworlder, The One hated by the Gods.

[Stats]

Strength: 297

Agile: 297

Vitality: 795

Intelligence: 1637

Mind: 1000

HP: 26,100,000

MP: 96,215,000

I had already expected my 'Status' to look like this but now that I'm seeing it again, I couldn't help but exclaim that it really is magnificent.

My HP and MP are already in millions.

And it might seem like I am weak physically but that's not the case at all. Even though I might be significantly weaker than the people who develop themselves in their physical prowess, I would still hover over the upper ranges in terms of physical capabilities due to my race's innate might.

Well, it would all really depend upon what the potency of an average person in this world is. Only then could I ascertain what my relative strength is.

Besides that, I haven't stood idle for these last three months. I was diligently experimenting with my stats and abilities. There are quite a few things I worked out

First of all, I wanted to find out what the prefixes 'Ancient' or 'Transcendent' before a race actually implied.

After pondering about it for a while, I figured that after a person surpasses a definite level milestone, they evolve and become a higher race.

What led me to such a conclusion was the last point of my racial attributes.

[-Experience gain will increase by 1500% until level 3000.]

This made it clear to an extent. The milestone for an 'Ancient' race was obviously 3000. No wonder my experience gain rate was augmented excessively.

I was already an 'Ancient' race without encompassing the level milestone.

This indicated that my father was undeniably a higher race too. I have no clue what the milestone for a 'Transcendent' race is though.

Secondly, I don't know what the actual level cap really is since this is not a game.

I shouldn't look upon this world as a game. It is apparent that it's possible to level up to 3000. It not improbable to think that no level cap actually exists. In a real-world- even if it's a game-like fantasy world, a level cap would be impractical as it would hinder life from growing and limit them.

Besides, I'm beginning to suspect that the stat values in this world are just bloated.

Well, I have no means to ascertain this though. I will have to stay awaiting til my birth if I want to figure it out.

I did try finding out more about the world with my skills since I was really impatient and really bored too.

Fortunately, I was able to access my skills. I had inherited tons of skills from my parents and acquired a class ability from levelling up.

B u t, my skills were being restricted by an unknown force which I suspected to be my own mother.

I tried using the Clairvoyance skill which was a part of the 'Human Esper' ability which I inherited from my father but as I activated the skill, a system message popped up notifying me that the skill had been invalidated by an unidentified influence.

By the way, abilities are like an amalgamation of skills and knowledge- both passive and active. I don't really know what their rarity is though or whether or not they could be obtained through normal means.

The abilities and skills also have grades. My own abilities seem to be at a pretty high grade. I couldn't really determine it correctly yet.

Lastly, with an increase in the Intelligence and Mind stats- very notable developments showed up on me too.

I acquired an eidetic memory after my Intelligence stat broke through 300 points with which, the memories of my previous life which I seemed to have forgotten all the way stormed my mind all at once like a flood of memories. It made me almost crazy. I had to spend a whole hour sorting out my memories.

After that, I also developed parallel processing when my Mind stat hit 500. I'm still not used to it but it's really useful. It's now possible for me to cerebrate several problems at once if I concentrate. It makes me dizzy and takes a ton of concentration to achieve but it also makes me able to solve dozens of mathematical questions at once.

It's really cool. Just what I would expect from a fantasy world.

My processing capacity also increased by leaps and bounds as my Intelligence stats shot up.

Like I said before, the stats directly affect certain aspects of a person's body than just increase their HP or MP. So, if the Intelligence stat increases then the 'intellect' will increase just as much.

I assayed my newfound and undeserved intellectual ability by solving mathematical problems from my previous world. I was able to explicitly recall all of them now with my eidetic memory.

With my earthly intellect, it took me at least 5 minutes to solve a certain problem.

It took me at most, 3 seconds to solve the same question. Even more so when I used parallel processing, I was able to work out the problem in a mere moment.

As of now with my Intelligence stat being all the more exaggerated, it takes at most an instant to solve the question.

The difference the stats make are far too abstract.

It's really ridiculous that I deemed myself smart in my previous life.

Aside from that, with my thinking capabilities increased, mountains of realisations from my previous life struck me.

Rather, I would have preferred to not regain those cursed mementoes of my previous life.

Either way, I am just going to seal them at the back of my head. If it was possible to erase them then I would definitely do so. I don't want to deal with them. At least not after the realisations.

Well, nought can be done about them for now. No use crying over spilt milk.

Rather, I am looking forward to my future in this new world.

As I looked expectantly towards the future, 6 more months passed by in a flash and the fated occasion of my birth arrived.
